Stardance® Direct Vent/Natural Vent Gas Heater
General Information
The Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater, Model
Nos. SDDVTCB, SDDVTEB, SDDVTBS, SDDVTBD, SDDVTBM,
SDDVTCSCB, SDDVTCSEB, SDDVTCSBS, SDDVTCSBD, SDDVTCSBM is a vented gas appliance listed to the ANSI Standard
Z21.88-2009 and CSA 2.33-2009 for Vented Room Heaters, and
CSA 2.17-M91, Gas-Fired Appliances For Use at High Altitudes.
The installation of the Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room
Heater must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
— latest edition and CSA B-149.1 Installation Code. (EXCEPTION: Do not derate this appliance for altitude. Maintain the
manifold pressure at 3.5” w.c. for Natural Gas and 10.0” w.c. for
LP gas at maximum input.)
This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on
the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for use with
other gases unless a certified kit is used.
Installation and replacement of gas piping, gas utilization
equipment or accessories, and repair and servicing of
equipment shall be performed only by a qualified agency,
preferably NFI or WETT (Canada) certified. The term “qualified agency” means any individual, firm, corporation, or
company that either in person or through a representative
is engaged in and is responsible for (a) installation or replacement of gas piping, or (b), the connection, installation,
repair, or servicing of equipment, who is experienced in
such work, familiar with all precautions required, and has
complied with all the requirements of the authority having
jurisdiction.
The Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater should
be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified
service agency. It is imperative that control compartments,
burners, and circulating air passageways of the appliance
be kept clean.
The Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater and its
individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
The Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the
gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 psig.
‘Direct Vent’ describes a sealed combustion system in which incoming outside air for combustion and outgoing exhaust enter
and exit through two separate concentric passages within the
same sealed vent system. The system does not use room air to
support combustion. The Direct Vent system permits the gas appliance to be vented directly to the outside atmosphere through
the side of the house or vertically through the roof. Conventional
venting systems (Natural Vent) take air from the room for combustion and vent the exhaust vertically through the roof to the
atmosphere.
This appliance is approved for bedroom installations in the U.S.
and Canada.
This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket* manufactured
(mobile) home, where not prohibited by state or local codes.
WARNING: Operation of this heater when not connected to a
properly installed and maintained venting system can result
in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.

Stardance® Direct Vent/Natural Vent Gas Heater
Vent Termination Clearances
When planning the installation, consider the location of
the vent terminal and clearances. Some of the most common clearances to keep in mind are shown in Figure 11.
Important: All vent clearances must be maintained.
Check your vent termination clearances against Figures 11 through 13.
The vent should be placed so that people cannot be
burned by accidentally touching the vent surfaces when
the stove is operating.
The vent termination should be located where it cannot be
damaged by such things as automobile doors, lawn mowers or snowblowers and it should be located away from
areas where it could become blocked by snow, etc.
Some considerations are:
• Obstructions or impediments to venting.
• Nearby combustible materials that could come into
contact with combustion exhaust gases.
• Other nearby openings {within 12” (305 mm)} through
which exhaust gas could reenter the building.
• All vegetation within 3’ (76 mm) that may interfere with
the draft.
Other factors that influence where the installation will be
sited include the location of outside walls, where additional heat may be desired in the home, where the family
members gather most regularly, and perhaps most importantly, the distance limitations of the venting system.
Your stove is approved to be vented either through the
side wall, or vertical through the roof.
• Vermont Castings Group does not require any opening
for inspection of vent pipe.
• Only Vermont Castings Group and DuraVent venting
components specifically approved and labelled for this
stove may be used.
• Minimum clearances between vent pipes and combustible materials is one (1”) inch (25 mm), except where
stated otherwise.
• Venting terminals shall not be recessed into a wall or
siding.
• Horizontal venting must be installed on a level plane
without an inclining or declining slope.
There must not be any obstruction such as bushes, garden sheds, fences, decks or utility buildings within 24”
from the front of the termination hood.
Do not locate termination hood where excessive snow or
ice build up may occur. Be sure to check vent termination area after snow falls, and clear to prevent accidental
blockage of venting system. When using snow blowers,
make sure snow is not directed towards vent termination
area.
Location of Vent Termination
It is imperative the vent termination be located observing
the minimum clearances as shown on this page.
IMPORTANT
Direct Vent Only
• The horizontal termination must not be recessed
into the exterior wall or siding.
• Horizontal vent runs must be level toward the vent
termination.
• Clearances around the vent termination must be
maintained.
• For installations using DuraVent pipe, parallel installations with minimum wall clearance have restricted access for connecting the Horizontal Vent Cap
straps to the vent pipe. See the maker’s instructions
for recommended installation procedures.

Adjustable Length (AJ)
An Adjustable Length is available to accommodate installations where non-standard lengths are necessary. The
adjustable length telescopes down over a standard length
of pipe and provides an extension range of 3Z\x” (89 mm)
to 10Z\x” (267 mm). Install by sliding the inlet end of the adjustable length over the outlet end of a standard length of
pipe. After positioning the adjustable length appropriately,
secure it to the standard length with two (2) #8 x1/4” sheet
metal screws (provided). Seal the area between both the
top and bottom of the adjustable length outer wall and
the outer wall of the standard length with an approved
silicone sealant.
Fire Stopping
DIRECT-TEMP must be firestopped wherever it passes
through floors, ceiling or walls. The only location where
a firestop is not required is at the roof level. Both vertical
support components with trim plates provide for firestopping. The wall thimble also acts as a firestop. at other
locations, a firestop spacer (FS) should be installed. In
the attic the firestop should be placed on top of the joist
framing to prevent debris from falling into the joist framing. (Fig. 38)
Horizontal Installation
1. Determine the appliance location. Refer to the appliance manufacturer’s installation instructions for clearance
to combustible requirements, termination options, number
of elbows, maximum length, etc. Then position the appli30004968

NOTE: As a general rule, the wall thimble is optional in
the U.S. However, there may be some manufacturers that
require it. Contact the appliance manufacturer for information if uncertain. When installed in Canada, a wall
thimble is required on all installations in which the
vent passes through a combustible wall.
5. If required, install the outside half of the wall thimble

6. Install the horizontal 3ELKIRKWALLTHIMBLE
termination to the exterior wall
using four (4) all purpose screws through the holes lo
cated at each corner of the
termination. Make sure the arrow (embossed on the front of the termination) is pointing
up. (Fig. 41) If the house has vinyl siding, a Vinyl Siding
Standoff (VS) must be installed prior to installing the horizontal termination. Refer to the appliance manufacturer
to determine if one is recommended. Attach the vinyl siding standoff to the exterior side of the wall (making sure
it is level and centered with respect to the opening) with
screws (provided) at each corner of the standoff. Attach
the horizontal termination to the standoff. (Fig. 42)
If the wall is brick or concrete, and contains no combustible material, a 7” (178 mm) round penetration hole is adequate. The wall thimble is not required. The perforated
straps of the horizontal termination provide a method of
attachment. These can either be threaded through the
opening or wall thimble (if used) and screwed to the pipe
or removed with a pair of tin snips if not used. Use proper
masonry fasteners to attach the horizontal termination to
the wall.

NOTE: If a vertical rise is necessary on the exterior side
of the building, a 14” (356 mm) and 36” (914 mm) Snorkel Termination (ST) is available. Follow the installation
procedures for horizontal terminations. If the snorkel termination is to be located below grade, a window well is
recommended with adequate and proper drainage as per
local codes. Leave 2” (51 mm) clearance below snorkel
to prevent water from entering the snorkel termination.
Do not enclose the snorkel within a wall or other type of
enclosure and do not back fill. Ensure that grade level
slopes away from the building. (Fig. 39)

of the outlet of the appliance. Mark
the position on
the ceiling.
NOTE: Frame openings to the dimensions specified in the
framing table for the cathedral ceiling support box (CCS),
the ceiling support (SC) and wherever the firestop spacer
(FS) is being used.
3. Cut and frame the appropriate sized square hole
through the ceiling. Repeat the process for other ceiling
penetrations as necessary.
4. Determine and mark the roof penetration in the same
manner.
5. Cut a hole in the roof at this point large enough to satisfy all clearance-to-combustible requirements as specified
by the appliance manufacturer’s installation instructions.
30004968
Stardance® Direct Vent/Natural Vent Gas Heater
6. Install the ceiling support cathedral ceiling support box
assembly, as appropriate.
7. Determine the distance from the appliance outlet to a
point just above [approximately 12” (305 mm) to 24” (610
mm)] either the cathedral ceiling support box or the ceiling
support plate and assemble lengths of pipe to satisfy this
distance. Do not attach assembly to appliance.
8. Loosely position the support collar around the assembled lengths (flared end down).
9. From above, lower the assembled pipe sections down
through the cathedral ceiling box or ceiling support plate
and attach it to the appliance adapter. The support collar should then be adjusted so that when the assembled
lengths of pipe are attached to the appliance, it rests on
the bottom of the cathedral ceiling support box on top of
the ceiling support plate.
10. Tighten the tabs of the collar. Secure the support collar by inserting three (3) #8 x 1/4” sheet metal screws
through the support collar and the outer wall of the pipe.
NOTE: If the cathedral ceiling support box assembly is
being used, it may be necessary to temporarily connect
the assembled pipe to the appliance. Determine and mark
the location of where the support collar will be attached
to the pipe. Disconnect and remove assembled pipe. Attach the support collar per Step 10 (where marked) and
reinstall assembly. This is due to limited space within the
cathedral ceiling support box. Install any required offset
supports.
11. Add lengths of pipe and firestop as necessary until
assembly extends to a point above the roof which complies with local code requirements for minimum termination height and with the appliance manufacturer’s installation instructions. (Fig. 44)

12. Using a level, make sure the system is perfectly vertical.
13. Slide the flashing, suitable for the roof pitch, down
over the pipe protruding through the roof. Recheck orientation and use a silicone sealant around and under the
perimeter of the flashing where it is in contact with the
roof. Secure the flashing with roofing nails. Finish roofing around the pipe, covering the sides and upper ares of
the flashing base with roofing material. However, be sure
the lower unnailed portion of the base covers the roofing
material.
14. Position the storm collar around the pipe and slide
down until it is in contact with the flashing. Secure the
storm collar by inserting the two (2) tabs into the raised
slots and fold tabs back. Seal the area between the storm
collar and the vent pipe with a silicone sealant to prevent
rain infiltration.
15. Install the vertical termination (VC) by inserting it
down into the top most section of pipe until it is fully seated. Depress lock tab to secure the cap to the pipe. NOTE:
In high wind areas, it is recommended to screw termination to the pipe with two (2) #8 x 1/4” sheet metal screws.
The screws should be approximately 3/4” from the bottom
of the vertical termination’s galvanized collar.
Venting System Assembly - Natural Vent
General Information
The Stardance Heater is shipped from the factory as a
Direct Vent Heater. It may be converted to a Natural Vent
heater by installing the Vermont Castings Model Z31B00
FSDHAG Draft Hood Adapter.
The Stardance Heater is approved for installation as a
Natural Vent. Vermont Castings Group Direct Vent pipe
could be used directly after the Draft Hood Adapter up to
the ceiling, then B-vent pipe must be used. Do not mix
types of B-vent pipe; use components from one maker or
the other. Follow the vent component maker’s instructions
exactly. The heater will also accept standard or enamelled
7” (178mm) diameter pipe, around the Type B venting, for
decorative purposes only. (Fig. 45)
NOTE: The restrictor plate supplied with the stove is
not used for Natural Vent applications.
The Stardance stove, when installed as a Natural vent
heater, includes a vent safety switch. (Page 41, Figure 81)
Operating the stove when it is not connected to a properly
installed and maintained venting system, or tampering
with or disconnecting the vent safety switch, can result in
carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.

Code, ANSI Z22.1.
For Canadian installations: The venting system must
conform to the current CSA B149.1 installation code.
Install the Vent Pipe
Apply a bead of sealant around bottom end of inner starter
pipe (found in bag with logset) and attach to stove. Apply
a bead of sealant around top of inner starter pipe and install the Z31B00 FSDHAG Draft Hood according to Draft
Hood instructions. (Fig. 45)
Attach the first section of venting to the draft hood. Depending on the length of the individual venting sections
and the lengths of the decorative pipe (if installed), you
may need to slip the decorative pipe over the venting sections before attaching upper sections to lower ones. The
sections of decorative pipe should be oriented with their
seams (if any) toward the wall; sections usually do not
need to be fastened at each joint, other than slip sections.
If the layout includes a slip section, this should be the last
section of pipe visible in the room, at the ceiling. Complete
the venting according to the vent maker’s instructions.

With the control knob in the pilot position, push the
control knob all the way and hold. Check for spark at
electrode and pilot. If no spark to pilot, and electrode
wire is properly connected, replace the battery in the
ignitor module and try again. Refer to Maintenance
Section. If the problem still exists, replace the ignitor
module box.
A. Defective pilot generator (thermocouple), remote wall switch
Check pilot flame. Must impinge on thermocouple/thermopile. NOTE: This pilot burner assembly utilizes both
a thermocouple and a thermopile. The thermocouple
operates the main valve operation (On and Off). Clean
and or adjust pilot for maximum flame impingement on
thermopile and thermocouple.
B. Defective automatic valve
Turn valve knob to “Pilot”. Maintain flow to pilot; millivolt
meter should read greater than 10mV. If the reading
is okay and the pilot does not stay on, replace the gas
valve. NOTE: An interrupter block (not supplied) must
be used to conduct this test.
A. Wall switch or wires defective
Check wall switch and wires for proper connections.
Jumper wire across terminals at wall switch, if burner
comes on, replace defective wall switch.. If okay,
jumper wires across wall switch wires at valve, if burner
comes on, wires are faulty or connections are bad.
B. Thermopile may not be generating sufficient millivoltage
1. Be sure wire connections form thermopile at gas
valve terminals are tight and thermopile is fully
inserted into pilot bracket.
2. One of the wall switch wires may be grounded. Remove wall switch wires form valve terminals if pilot
now stays lit, trace wall switch wiring for ground.
May be grounded to fireplace or gas supply.
3. Check thermopile with millivolt meter. Take reading
at thermopile terminals of gas valve. Should read
250-300 millivolts (minimum 150) while holding
valve knob depressed in pilot position and wall
switch “Off”. Replace faulty thermopile if reading is
below specified minimum.
C. Plugged burner orifice
Check burner orifices for debris and remove.
D. Defective automatic valve operator
Turn valve knob to “On”, place wall switch to “On”
millivolt meter should read greater than 150mV. If the
reading is okay and the burner does not come on,
replace the gas valve.
A. Pilot flame may be too low or
blowing (high) causing the pilot
safety to drop out
Clean and/or adjust pilot flame for maximum flame
impingement on thermopile and thermocouple.
B. Possible blockage of the vent
terminal
Check the vent terminal for blockage (recycling the flue
gases).

Stardance® Direct Vent/Natural Vent Gas Heater
Maintenance
Your Stardance Gas Heater will provide years of service
with minimal upkeep. The following procedures will help
ensure that your stove continues to function properly.
Annual System Inspection
Have the entire heater and venting system inspected annually by a qualified gas technician. Replace any worn or
broken parts.
Cleaning the Glass
WARNING: Allow the glass to cool completely before attempting to clean.
7!2.).'
(/4',!337),,
#!53%"52.3
Logset and Burner /
Cleaning and Inspection
Cleanliness is critical to the proper function of the heater.
The logset and burner must all be kept free of dust and
unobstructed by debris. Inspect these areas before each
use and clean as necessary.
1. Turn the burner OFF and let the heater cool completely
before cleaning.
2. Lift the Stove Front up and then swing the bottom out
to disengage it from the heater shell. (Fig. 83)
3. Carefully remove the glass and frame assembly and
place it out of the way on a flat, padded surface such
as a counter protected by a towel.
4. Carefully inspect the Logs for damage. Contact your
local dealer if any damage is evident. DO NOT OPERATE THE HEATER WITH DAMAGED LOGS.
5. Use a soft bristled brush to sweep dust or debris from
the Logs, Pilot and Burner. Use care as the logs are
fragile and susceptible to damage. DO NOT USE A
VACUUM TO CLEAN THE LOGS OR BURNER.
6. Replace the glass panel and frame assembly.
7. Replace the Stove Front.
Care of Cast Iron
An occasional dusting with a dry rag will help keep the
painted surfaces looking new. Use high-temperature
stove paints, available through your local dealer, to touchup areas as needed. Clean areas to be painted with a wire
brush and be sure to cover the logs, burner and valve assembly, glass and frame assembly. Apply the paint sparingly; two light coats of paint will give better results than a
single heavy coat.

It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During
start-up, condensation, which is normal, forms on the inside of the glass and causes lint, dust and other airborne
particles to cling to the glass surface. Also initial paint
curing may deposit a slight film on the glass. It is therefore recommended that the glass be cleaned two or three
times with a non-ammonia household cleaner and warm
water (we recommend gas fireplace glass cleaner). After
that the glass should be cleaned two or three times during each heating season depending on the circumstances
present.
Clean glass after first two weeks of operation.
Glass Replacement
Replace glass only with Vermont Castings Group approved parts. Refer to Page 44 for Replacement Parts.
Refer to Figures 83 & 84 for removal of the damaged
glass frame.
Clean porcelain enamel surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. If necessary, use
only a cleaning agent formulated especially for use on
porcelain enamel surfaces.
CAUTION
TURN THE PILOT OFF BEFORE PAINTING. ALLOW
THE HEATER TO COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE
PAINTING.

Inspect the Vent System Annually
ST208
Have the vent system inspected annually by a qualified
technician. Shut off the main gas supply before inspecting the system. Both the inner exhaust pipe and the outer
combustion supply pipe must be checked to confirm that
they are unblocked and in good condition.
Check the Gas Flame Regularly
Fig. 84 Release the latches to release the glass frame.
Gasket Replacement
The Stardance Gas Heater uses a ‘tadpole’ type gasket to
seal between the glass panel and the frame. In time, this
gasket can become brittle and compressed and should be
replaced. New gasket is available from your dealer.
Shut off the gas supply and allow the stove to cool. Wear
safety goggles and a dust mask.
1. Remove the Front, Glass Frame and Glass Panel.
(Figs. 83 & 84) Remove the old gasket. Use a razor
blade to separate the glass and gasket from the frame,
and to clean
the glass of any remaining cement or bits
ST208
of gasket. Use a cold chisel if necessary.
glass swivel latch
2. Determine the correct length of gasket by laying it out
12/99
around the
edge of the glass. Allow an extra 1 - 2” (2550mm). Mark the spot to be cut. Use a utility knife.
3. Starting on a long edge, remove about 6” of the protective paper strip and apply the flat adhesive face of the
gasket around the outside-facing edge of the panel.
Continue around the panel, applying a bout 6” at a time
and being careful to not stretch the material. Do not
overlap the gasket ends. (Fig. 85)
4. Apply a thin bead of high temperature silicone rubber
sealant along the inside corner of the glass frame, all
around the perimeter. Place the flat gasketed side of
the glass panel back into the steel frame. Pinch the
rounded inside-facing gasket material to bulk it up.
5. Replace the glass frame and front panel as previously
described.
To ensure that the stove is operating properly, check the
flames periodically to confirm that they match Figure 86.
The flames will be blue during the first 15-20 minutes of
operation, and will gradually turn to yellow after that.
Do not use your stove if the flame pattern differs from that
shown here. Contact your Vermont Castings dealer or a
qualified technician for help.

includes the optional fan, disconnect the fan rheostat. If
the installation includes a wall thermostat, disconnect the
thermostat leads from valve.
